When an item is created or modified goes wrong

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I have a flow like in the snippet. Basically, whenever the "Outcome" column is modified, a date will be added. It works well in the first stage, but after that, the date keeps changing even though "Outcome" is not modified. For example:

  • On 07/07, outcome is blank -> date is also blank -> Correct logic
  • On 10/07, outcome is changed to "Accept" -> date is registered  as "2023-07-10" -> Correct logic
  • On 11/07, even though outcome is not changed -> date is changed to "2023-07-11" and it's the final date, which is not correct

Please shed more light on this.

    In your condition, is the first value a text column or a true/false value? If it is true/false, you need to use the expression builder to enter true rather than typing it in.

    Hi @sangnguyen ,

     

    I would love to help you find a way out. However, seems like I'm still confused about your flow's logic.

    Here're some questions I would like to know:

    1. What did you filled in the "Since" and "Until" field of "Get changes.." action?

    2. Which column do you filled here?

    3. You would like to go "If yes" branch when "Outcome" get modified, why do you add a condition like this (to confirm Outcome do have a value)?
